I can't work out why there is no way to see the Photos section on Proton Drive sync app for Windows. So not only are the files and photos stored in separate sections (without being told as such) -- the photos aren't even available on Windows. And, considering the sync app has the ID of the MacOS app, I'd assume it's the same issue on there.

I have just cleaned out Google, but have also tried out OneDrive as a parallel.

Would love the OneDrive feature where the photos from "my files" are showing in the "photo" section. This allows me to upload photos to my files, organize them in folders they way i want, and simultaneously use photo-gallery by date and albums. This is a really good feature because i feel i "own" and controll my photo files and display them through "photos" when necessary.

The only thing im NOT enjoying about OneDrive solution is the bad metadata/photo-date problems when uploading and the convenience of face-recognition (but this I can manage without for the sake of privacy).

It would also be nice to be able to share photos through a password-protected link like you can with folders/files.

At the moment, i think this is the one think keeping me from going all in Proton with my family.

Modern Drive solutions and alternatives have this feature: folder or tab, but exists. It's not practical to go to web to see photos in a badly sorted way when desktop or app can't

Being able to move photos to other folders is essential.

Backups from computer or Android should backup from the source folder to the same named destination folder.
For example: On Android: Photos\Scenic - On Proton drive: Photos\Scenic
The fact that it throws all photos from all folders into one folder is puzzling.

Also there should be an option for actual synchronization. If I delete a photo from my device it should sync that delete on my proton drive folder, or at least give me the option.

I look forward to this feature deployed as indicated on your roadmap: https://proton.me/blog/proton-drive-product-roadmap

Agreed with the feedback here - I'm coming from OneDrive, where it works exactly as I expect. The photos are backed up to a dedicated "Camera Roll" folder so I can work with the photos as files when needed. OneDrive also has a an album view, which seems to be analogous to what Proton Drive is trying to do. As it is right now, Proton Drive's implementation is nearly useless for how I want to use it.

It's really unclear to me where photo uploads go and why they seem to be in some secret zone that I'm not allowed to see directly.

This is almost a deal breaker for me in switching from OneDrive. My wife and I both have photo backup on our phones, and we have shared our photo folder with each other so we can access each-other's photos.

I know some people like having the photo tab with grid preview — I honestly couldn't care less about that. My wife and I just want our photos to automatically be uploaded into a folder that syncs with our computer so that we can quickly open/edit them in Photoshop, use them in documents and emails, send them, share them, etc. just like every other file. The grid view is fine, just make that tab a folder that syncs to the desktop and it would be golden.

I like the arrangement of photos per time taken. It would a fantastic improvement with the below capabilities:

- Move photos to albums similar to files.
- Create albums within photos tab.
- Securely share an album.

Just bought Proton Duo to replace Google Drive, Dropbox and Bitwarden.
This here seems to be the only issue for me. I'd like to access my photos from my computer as well. I also want them to organize manually but I also want to use the auto photo upload.

Can I get an estimate when this will be fixed?

The photo section should also allow to create folders.

It is amazing to me that this photo section is not just a view showing only photo files for easy access. Never in a 1000 years I would have thought that Photos and My files somehow are different types of storage.
We need a way to see photos in the photos section as files.

I don't understand why I can't move the photos automatically backed up by the android app to different folders.
